How to Clear the Printer Queue/Spooler In Windows 7/8/10
This tutorial will show you guys how to clear stuck print jobs.
Have you ever run into the situation where you try to print something and nothing happens? You wait for it to print, but the job doesn’t go through? There are a ton of reasons why a print job may not actually print, but one of the common causes is that the printer queue has a stuck print job.
This can happen for a number of reasons. Let’s say you tried to print something a few hours back, but the printer was off. You ended up not needing the document and you forgot about it. Then you come back and try to print. The print job is added to the queue and if the previous job didn’t get removed automatically, it will be behind that print job that never got printed.
Sometimes you can manually go in and delete the print job, but sometimes you just can’t get rid of it! In this type of case, you have to clear the print queue manually. In this tutorial, I’ll show you the steps to clear the print queue.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems.Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

Thank you, it worked perfectly.
Dude! Pretty sure you're tired of hearing this from your wife but you are a genius. Worked perfectly!
Thanks bro. God bless you! It works!
Thank you sir
it was realy very helpful and working too
This method works well although there were so many steps. On YouTube, there is a method using Command Prompt as an administrator, only two steps were needed to clear the print queue.
Are you kidding me ?? Does it have to go thru all those steps ?? I am afraid to try them out.
Thank you
Hi, followed all your instructions, I had 2 files which I deleted as instructed, but when I tried printing a single print it continues to print until the printer is turned off!?
Any idea what to try next? Is there a setting in the Printers & Scanners page where I can adjust how many copies are required for that particular printer as I think I may have adjusted it by mistake
previously?
I'm watching this in 2023 and It still works, very helpful 👍
